Dennie Christian
Dennie Christian (born May 22, 1956 in Bensberg ; real name Bernhard Althoff ) is a German pop singer and presenter .
biography
Dennie Christian recorded his first record at the age of 17, Every great love has a happy ending . But the title was not a success. It was not until 1975 that the new recording of the folk song Rosamunde brought him his breakthrough. With this he reached the first place in the ZDF hit parade in January 1975 . A few more recordings followed. Then it got a little quieter around the singer. In the 1980s he was primarily a presenter for various radio stations. From 1982 to 1991 he led through the nationally known “Schlagerfestival von Kerkrade ” in the Netherlands . In 1992, Christian then briefly moderated a hit program on RTL plus .
Then he tried again as a singer and devoted himself more to folk music. Here, too, he had a few minor successes. The singer also recorded numerous titles in the Dutch language and accordingly had many successes there.
In 2017 he played in the Dutch film Low Budget Stuntman and also contributed some titles to the film music.
Dennie Christian has a daughter and a son from his marriage to Roswitha Smid.
